Just a note - If the sponsor employees are not team members, then labor costs are included in the BOM price (R14).

I'll re-read R14 and make sure we account for it correctly.

Don't forget this important paragraph in the R14 blue box:
It is in the best interests of the Teams and FIRST to form relationships with as many organizations as possible. Teams are encouraged to be expansive in recruiting and including organizations in their team, as that exposes more people and organizations to FIRST. Recognizing supporting companies as Sponsors of, and members in, the Team is encouraged, even if the involvement of the Sponsor is solely through the donation of fabrication labor.

Yep. Based on the description of the printing process, I'd venture they have it correct now. We've been down this before, and my litmus test tends to be 'do the boss and the employees doing the work know who we and FIRST are?' i.e. have I created a mutual relationship, or am I just a customer?
